Upgrade to NT7 v20

[dimitri]

Dear Friends,
I am exercising with NT7 v19, and i have two (2) questions: 1. Which steps to follow in order to upgrade to v20 ??? and 2. How to save custom "indicators" and "strategies" in order to be able to use them with the newer version ????

Dimitri, you can upgrade in the software via the Help > Download site option - your NinjaScript are persisted with the upgrade, however it's prudent to make regular backups via the File > Utilities > Backup option.

Dear Bertrand,
Thank you for your reply. I would like to know if better to make Backup or Export and when into the File - Utilities - EXPORT Windows the difference between - Export selected source files, and - Export compiled assembly of selected source files.

Thanks again

For the NinjaScript files only, the Export option would also be fine as 'protection' - please use the source option, as otherwise you would not have access to the raw code anymore.

Dear Bertrand,
Thank you for your kind and prompt reply. Please specify if you suggest the first or second selection ?

Dimitri, either or is fine, personally I'd use the Export option in your case.

Dear Bertrand,
Thank you again for your kind reply. Into the Export Window there are two possibilities.
Possibility 1.:Export selected source files
Possibility 2.:Export compiled assembly of selected source files.
What is the difference between them and which is better in my case .... ?????
